New Assateague Concession Opens With High Expectations

ASSATEAGUE — The new concession operation at the Assateague Island National Seashore opened this week just 10 days after the Maryland Coastal Bays Program (MCBP) and its partner SuperFun Eco Tours signed a 10-year contract with the National Park Service.

Earlier this spring, the MCBP and SuperFun Eco Tours were selected to run the concession operations at the Assateague Island National Seashore after being the successful bidders and were awarded a 10-year contract. MCBP and SuperFun Eco Tours hit the ground running this week with the opening of their multi-faceted operation.

The Bayside Drive component of the concession operation includes a variety of rental opportunities for local residents and vacationers in the park including kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, bicycles and even clam rakes. The MCBP and SuperFun Eco Tours are also offering kayak and stand-up paddleboard tours through many areas of the National Seashore’s 31,000 pristine acres. Earlier this week, the concessioners were running electric service to the rental office.

7:19 - Not to worry. These businesses are already there and in operation. They're OK. But I share your feeling - last thing we need is another OC.
